Quick question for those able to watch or see highlights of the game, how is he scoring his goals? Is it just a cannon from the point is he more creative and jumping into the play? Just trying to figure out what kind of player he is.

Should be in the AHL. All these highlights show me the ECHL is too easy for the big guy.

I said it in the back burner thread - there is no downside to bringing him up to the A at this point.

The 20 goals and the pace he's scored them is still very impressive. It's time he gets called up, Stockton really needs him. Got to think that happens soon

I don't know, a more aggressive shooter is always better than a passer imo. Something the Flames need. Perhaps they let him rip it up a little longer down in the E , but I don't think you want him to start thinking too big of himself. There has to be a proper time to bring him up.

and that got Kulak a promotion

also, Falkovsky started slower and has really come on - 1.5 PPG as a defenseman should get you a look at the next level

Honestly I wouldn't want him getting too comfortable with ECHL play. If he can make the jump to the AHL it would be awesome for his development. The league is obviously not good enough for him. No one here really knows where he's at defensively but at his size and skating ability it can't be that bad.

Why isn't he on the Heat currently? They've been awful, surely adding someone with 20 goals from the blue line would be a good spark.

A little more context.
With a January birthday Kulak was 20 when he started that season and turned 21 in January.

Falkovsky started the season at 19 and turned 20 in December. So he's a year younger then Kulak was during these seasons.

also, 20 goals

20 goals in 46 games is pretty crazy for a defenseman

He leads the team in goals.

He leads the league in goals by a defenseman. Eric Roy (drafted by Calgary in 2013, but wasn't signed) is 2nd with 13 goals.

The stats jump off the page, but who knows where he is at defensively. I think staying at the ECHL level and getting top minutes is probably better for him than moving up to the AHL, where he would get buried in the lineup. With Kulak, Wotherspoon, Andersson, Kylington and Aulie getting a lot of key minutes, Falkovsky would have to fight for time for the 6th spot with Morrison, Culkin, and Doetzel.

As a 19/20-year-old it's probably wise for him to play out the stretch in the ECHL. He can't play in junior, might not bump anyone from the lineup in the AHL & must be feeling confident at the ECHL level so no point jeopardising that confidence.

Could be a real gem of a late-rounder, if his development carries on as it has so far!
